VMware Mishandled Exception and Directory Traversal Vulnerabilities
2 Nov. 2009
Summary
An improper setting of the exception code on page faults may allow for local privilege escalation on the guest operating system. This vulnerability does not affect the host system. A directory traversal vulnerability allows for remote retrieval of any file from the host system. In order to send a malicious request, the attacker will need to have access to the network on which the host resides.
